Arabic RTL Text Support in Zoom Workplace Chat

SalahTranslator · ‎2025-07-21

Hello Zoom Team and Community,

I'm reaching out to request an important feature for Arabic-speaking users of Zoom Workplace.

Currently, when we type messages in Arabic (especially when mixed with English), the chat interface does not display them properly — the text alignment is left-to-right, which causes confusion and makes the messages hard to read. This affects not only readability but also the overall communication experience for Arabic users.

It would be incredibly helpful if Zoom Workplace could support **right-to-left (RTL)** text rendering in chat, similar to how other platforms handle Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. This is essential for teams working in multilingual environments and would make Zoom more inclusive and user-friendly.

I hope this can be passed on to the product team, and I’d appreciate any updates or workarounds from the community in the meantime.

Thank you!
